@ap80shg There is a reason nobody uses PPP as a meaningful metric. Anyone with half a brain knows that.

Russia's been trying to take Avdiivka for about nine years now. What a plan.

Russia has several failed offensives this war, including the current disastrous winter offensive, why not do some of them first.

@alhabduro5639 What nonsense. Russia has lost far more from its current failed offensive than Ukraine did during the Summer. There was also the failed Kyiv, Sumy, Kharkiv, Vulhedar, Kherson offensives. Its time to rejoin reality.

@alhabduro5639 What I listed were failed Russian offensives. Bakhmut wasn't the Russian army, it was Wagner. Remember Wagner? They took such terrible casualties in Bakhmut they mutinied. Russia is dusting off T54's and BTR 50's, but yeah they have an endless supply I'm sure. That's why they are using penal battalions and rounding up foreign workers.

@kostaanestopoulos5189 Putin himself said in 2014 that he could take all of Ukraine in 2 weeks, the 3 day narrative was also all over Russian state media. Emphasis on the 'state' they don't say anything without the Kremlins approval. Obviously they wanted a quick war, or do you really think that unending trench warfare was the plan all along? Is that really what you think, that ww1 attrition warfare was the plan from the start?

@SYOTOSVLOG The same government was in charge, it was never overthrown. Do some research instead of posting idiotic comments.

Photographic evidence indicates Russia is at around a 3-1 disadvantage in losses. That was before their ill fated winter offensive though.

@Writeous0ne Literally every source that isnt the Kremlin. Warmonitor, Oryx, several others take your pick, they all say the same thing.

@Writeous0ne Its not just Oryx, as I said. Sorry that photographic evidence doesn't reinforce your world view, try not to cry.

@Writeous0ne These are geolocated images. If you want to deny reality that's your business, don't expect anyone to take you serious though.

@Writeous0ne Can you geolocate a therapist? Because you need help. So geolocated photographic evidence isn't good enough for you, yet you provide no counter evidence, just say 'I don't like it'. Let me guess you accept Russian figures at face value. Bend over backwards to deny the truth all you want but it wont change reality bud.

@Writeous0ne Oryx has double counted in some cases and then quickly corrected themselves when they discovered their error. Its natural to make mistakes when you are counting tens of thousands of destroyed vehicles. To date like it or not Russia has confirmed lost over 14 000 armored vehicles. though the real number is much higher than that as many vehicles wont be photographed. And as I said Oryx aren't the only ones counting losses, there are several and they all roughly agree on the figures. Dry your eyes. You keep spamming the word objective over and over, sorry but no. Rejecting clear evidence because it doesn't fit your narrative isn't 'objective' its just idiotic. enjoy living in your world of make believe.

@Writeous0ne Sure photographic evidence isn't reliable. Your analogy of a lion in your yard is frankly moronic. Like I said losses are around 3-1 in favor of Ukraine. That was prior to Russia's disastrous winter offensive. Losses around Avdiivka have been around 20-1 in favor of Ukraine. Ukraine doesn't have to win a war of attrition, they just have to outlast Russia. Afghanistan and the Chechens had much less than Ukraine and they both defeated Russia.

@Writeous0ne Oryx’s methodology is to only include losses that have been geolocated by photo or video. Forbes has called Oryx "the most reliable source in the conflict so far", calling its services "outstanding". Because it reports only visually confirmed losses, Forbes claimed that Oryx's tallies of equipment losses have formed absolute minimum baselines for loss estimates. Ground news: we've assigned a high factuality rating. Ratings are assigned by aggregating scores from Ad Fontes Media and Media Bias/Fact Check. But you know better than everyone else. Get over yourself. Moreover as I've said multiple times its more than just Oryx. There are multiple organizations counting losses, warmonitor is another. THEY ALL AGREE. But that's not enough for you because you think you can geolocate a lion to your backyard and have multiple independent organizations confirm the data. Its time to rejoin reality bud.

@Writeous0ne Why do that when I have the opinion of an enlightened genius right here, master of objective thought who knows better than every one else, just ask him. Luckily we dont need photographic evidence anymore we can just ask you.
